Why isn’t Alex Highsmith playing for the Steelers against the Browns in Week 12 TNF?

Linebacker Alex Highsmith will miss his second consecutive game for the Pittsburgh Steelers today, as Mike Tomlin’s men visit the Cleveland Browns in a Week 12 Thursday Night Football match-up in Ohio.

What injury does Alex Highsmith have?

Highsmith is listed as ‘out’ on the Steelers’ official injury report for the Browns game, having missed team practice since twisting his ankle in Pittsburgh’s Week 10 win over the Washington Commanders on November 10.

Earlier this season, the 27-year-old also missed three games, in Weeks 4 to 6, after sustaining a groin injury.

Cory Trice Jr, who hasn’t played since Week 3 due to a hamstring issue, also remains ‘out’ on the Steelers’ injury report. The cornerback has been a full participant in practice this week, but Pittsburgh have opted against reactivating the 24-year-old from their injured reserve list ahead of Thursday’s game.
